Purdue Football Opens As +2.5 Underdogs Against #5 Michigan State

Purdue heads into what is now their biggest game of the season next Saturday against #5 ranked Michigan State at Ross-Ade Stadium.

The “Spoilermakers” reputation has re-emerged this year with their upset of Iowa a couple of weeks ago, which odd makers have definitely taken into account. Purdue has opened as a +2.5 point underdog for their matchup against the Spartans per Draft Kings Sportsbook.

This is a surprising spread given Purdue’s inconsistency and Michigan State’s undefeated season through week 9 of the college football season. Let’s take a bit of a deeper dive into the betting implications for this game.
